New Wing + Decals for DT-02 Astute

At Thommo's suggestion (see link to previous entry at bottom of page) I got my hands on a proper Astute wing and have now applied the better decals and installed the new wing. Have to say it looks pretty much THE BUSINESS.


Have also since swapped in a TEU-302BK ESC and a Superstock BZ motor and the thing is a phenomenal runner. Anyone looking for a good 2WD runner / basher buggy don't hesitate to try a DT-02... although my recommendation would be to Astutify it just like this one since the box art for all the variants is nothing I'd want to have in my collection (yes even the Holiday Buggy body... not my thing)!


Due to the relative position of the wing mount and rear shock mounts I had to mount the wing really far back but it gives it a really severe angle which I think looks cool anyway. I have a low cost brushless ESC and motor set aside to install in this - to try anyway - but am still enjoying the current setup as-is so haven't swapped it in yet. I also have a set of alloy front steering blocks for when the current nylon ones inevitably break as soon as I make a mistake at speed.
